Summary
Collects general waste generated from businesses using collection vehicles and transports it to final disposal sites or intermediate treatment facilities. Performs operations safely and hygienically according to predetermined routes and schedules.
Description
Business waste collection vehicle drivers regularly collect general waste generated from offices, stores, factories, and other businesses using dedicated collection vehicles and transport it to treatment facilities or transfer stations. While running pre-set routes, they operate compactors and press mechanisms, perform loading/unloading work, attach/detach containers, secure loads to prevent waste scattering, and conduct cleaning. They also handle entries in operation logbooks and manifests, vehicle inspections, maintenance, and washing, thoroughly ensuring safe driving and hygiene management. Work often starts early in the morning and involves outdoor tasks, requiring punctuality and physical stamina.
Future Outlook
Demand for operations remains stable due to strengthened environmental regulations and promotion of recycling. Driver shortages are intensifying due to declining birthrates and aging population, making continuous recruitment a challenge. While introduction of autonomous driving technology is under consideration, widespread adoption is not imminent, and high demand is expected for the foreseeable future.
